I completely agree with you Mike. Put the onus back on them. It's the simplest way to remove you (as the ump) from the equation.
I look at it like this. I give the pregame with all the appropriate warnings/rules/regs. Depending on the violation during the game, I may give another warning based on the situation. If the same violation continues, someone has to go. Obvious fighting and (for my particular region) very loud cursing is an automatic ejection...
